Egg white oatmeal pancakes! Simple and yummy!

My chair massage today gave me life. The focus was on my neck. Lately my neck has been bothering me and it's probably because I stare at a computer screen 90% of my waking hours. Blasphemy.

After my massage, I used my hour lunch break to go to the gym and knock out my final workout of the week. Livefit week 1 pretty much complete on the workout tip. Still have to continue to eat healthy and I plan on having active rest days. By active I mean not laying on the couch stuffing my face 24/7.

Tomorrow and saturday I think I am going to do yoga and flexibility stretches. I really want to do a split one day. Like really. It's a goal.

So thursday is a day I think about my weekend plans. I've come to the conclusion that I will be spending my 3 day weekend wrecking my brain. I have my first exam in one of my summer classes, lots of reading to catch up on for both classes, a homework program due tomorrow night and to add icing on the cake, I may even have to log on and do some work work for my job. This shall be fun.

On the livefit trainer site, someone posted that they make egg white oatmeal pancakes. All you need is egg whites and oats. Well I was intrigued so I googled it and found plenty of people do it and decided to give it a go for myself this morning. The verdict? This will make a reoccurring appearance in my belly.

Egg White Oatmeal Pancakes.

sorry didn't really take any pics while cooking I suck.

Ingredients (can use more or less depending on how many you want to make, how "thick", how large, etc).

5 large egg whites (about 1 cup)
1/2 cup of old fashioned oats (people also recommend quick oats)
Cinnamon to taste *Optional
Nutmeg to taste *Optional
Tsp (or more if you like) of honey (or low cal sweetener of choice i.e stevia, trivia. I've also used applesauce and/or banana) *Optional 
Dash of Pure Vanilla Exract *Optional

Combine ingredient together in a bowl and lightly mix and let sit for 10+ minutes to soften oats (don't think this is necessary if using quick oats but I like the idea anyway)

Update: I no longer let it sit. I mix everything in my blender together. So doesn't need to sit because mixes well. 

Using an electric mixer (or hand mixer or blender if you chose) mix the batter together well. 

I mixed for about a minute on highest setting.

Spray a medium size frying pan with olive oil

Pour batter inside warm pan (cook on medium to high)

Let cook until bubbles form and sides/edges look dry.

Flip.

Cook other side.

Done.

Enjoy with fresh fruit and/or lite/sugar free syrup if you dare.

I topped mine with a little bit of coconut nectar.

Are you ready for the weekend?

pancakes or waffles? 

they are not the same. PANCAKES!
